I've played the arcade games it's based on on the megaman collection and they aren't great.

Different if it was a proper fighting game with some depth but just looks like it has bugger all longevity to it.

Rare doesn't necessarily mean good

Atavan-Halen

I'd say a good chunk of rare games are actually crap. Take stadium events for example. I don't think people want it because it's the pinnacle of NES gaming :P

Yes, but they very quickly bumped up the price to €20 the next day. Someone must have priced them wrong!

yeah, HMV tend to price things too low and then bump them up to high . Like sf4 fight pads were 3 euro and 13 euro the next day I was in town

GBA quality in the best games. Slightly less so in the monochrome ones.

I'm not after an investment! I just want a bargain....

Pyongyang

Indeed the Crystal is the one to go for, but for €8 I couldn't really pass up on the Color edition. If I ever get Judgement Silversword I'll go for the Crystal.

For now I'm happy out with a Color and a stack of Gundam, Densha de Go and Puyo Puyo games.

Can't you just get a color with a 'crystal' shell

Pyongyang

Yes but that's the shell. The Crystal has a different, better display.

Just stuck another handheld up on adverts.

NeoGeo pocket Color (Stone Blue version) plus Samurai Shodown 2.

Everything is boxed and in mint condition.

I think the price is very fair (€40)

Correct me if you disagree

Mr.Saturn

Muramasa: The Demon Blade (Wii) has turned up in HMV Henry St, 18 euro. Not a bargain by any stretch but it can be a pain in the arse to find, and it's
new and sealed, might be a while before it turns up again.

Ah the memories of that case! Used to rent a lot of games when I was younger. My mam had a shop next door to an xtra vision so I used to get the odd rental on the sly

Have a chartbusters rental game though that I was supposed to return about 7 years ago.

Thanks again for this, popped in today and picked one up. Had been looking for ages. There's a handful of copies in both city centre HMVs for anyone seeking one.

Not retro but thought I'd chance my arm and pop my latest ad on here! :pac:

Enjoy it, I paid around that price for it used, in the same shop, six months ago. I then proceeded to give it away as present, thinking it'd turn up. Go figure, took a while.

I was being stubborn and hoping it would turn up cheap at some point, like I did with Sin & Punishment :pac: Luckily both paid off despite the risk! I don't know what I have against paying more than twenty euro for Wii games, but I certainly rarely buy full price ones!

That said, I've been trying to find a copy of Xenoblade in shops after reading the stellar reviews. Actively looking a few days for release, they only at it in Game at the ridiculous price of 49.99 :rolleyes: Online it is so.

Flogging a few games if you're keen.

I've car insurance to pay this week and **** all money but was hoping to get this in a few days time. Had a look online and it's sold out nearly everywhere. Really don't want to miss out on this game. Still managed to get it for 35 euro so not a total loss. Also Inazuma Eleven is finally getting a UK release this Friday. That's another one I'll have to watch carefully.

Apparently gamestop are selling it for 39.99 'behind the counter'. Will pop down to the gobshi workers in my local one tomorrow and see if they even know it exists.
